Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thermal printer having a thermal head and a platen for printing information on continuous paper which holds labels, tags or the like, and more particularly relates to a paper autoloading mechanism which prevents wastage of paper, at the start of the printing process.
  • the driving power for feeding the continuous paper is conventionally provided solely through rotation of the platen roller, which platen roller is in pressure contact with the thermal head.
  • the leading end of the continuous paper which has been previously loaded in the paper supply section of the printer is grasped between the fingers, passed through a label pitch sensor located between the paper supply section and the printer section, and inserted into the printer section
  • the printer section serves both to imprint information on and to feed (draw) the continuous paper.
  • the platen roller is rotated to feed the paper until the label pitch sensor outputs a pitch detection signal which indicates that the leading end of the label or tag has been properly aligned.
  • the first one or two labels or tags on the continuous paper are invariably conveyed past the printer head and are thus wasted.
  • the invention provides a continuous paper autoloading mechanism for a thermal printer comprising a continuous paper supply section, a paper feeding means, a pitch sensor for detecting the pitch of labels or tags of the continuous paper and for producing pitch signals, a paper guide and a printing means which includes paper feeding means.
  • the foregoing elements are disposed in succession, in the direction of paper feed.
  • the paper feeding operation of the paper feeding means and of the printing means are synchronized and controlled in response to the pitch signals to feed the leading edge of the continuous paper into proper alignment with the printing means.
  • the continuous paper used with the autoloading mechanism according to this invention is in the form of a continuous strip on which labels or tags are serially disposed.
  • a segment of a label strip is shown in FIG. 2, by way of example.
  • the continuous paper (label strip) 1 comprises a tape-like backing sheet 4 having labels 2 attached thereon at regular intervals.
  • the continuous paper 1 is wound on a supply reel disposed at a supply section 6.
  • the continuous paper 1 can be in the form of a strip of continuous tags which are separated by perforations for being easily detached from one another, avoiding the need for a backing sheet.
  • the manual phase of the paper loading process consists of feeding the leading end of the continuous paper 1 between the rollers 11 and 12 of a feeding means and pressing an autofeed button (not shown).
  • the continuous paper 1 When the continuous paper 1 is fed forwardly by the feed roller 11, its leading end is detected by a pitch sensor 18 located at an intermediate position of a paper guide 19 which forms a feed path for the continuous paper 1.
  • the detection signal from the pitch sensor 18 is supplied to a microcomputer (not shown) in the memory of which is stored a value corresponding to the distance L between the pitch sensor 18 and the printing means. It is noted that when the paper arrives at the printing section, the platen roller 14 is used to press the paper against the thermal head 15.
  • the microcomputer 10 Upon receiving the detection signal, the microcomputer 10 outputs to the pulse motor 10 a value corresponding to the number of feed pulses needed to move the paper by the distance L. This starts the paper moving toward the printing section.
  • the pitch sensor 18 detects the pitch of the labels of the continuous paper 1, that is the distance l between adjacent detection marks, holes or the like which enable the device to distinguish the labels from one another. Specifically, the microcomputer counts the number of feed pulses outputted to move the paper between the first and second detection marks. The result is stored as the label or tag pitch of the particular continuous paper 1. This enables the device to operate with differently sized labels or tags.
  • the number of feed pulses Pb corresponding to the detected label pitch is subtracted from the number of feed pulses Pa corresponding to the distance between the pitch sensor 18 and the printing means.
  • the subtraction result is stored in the microcomputer memory. Thereby the number of feed pulses Pc needed to further feed the continuous paper 1 so as to cause the leading edge of the first label to be properly aligned with the printing means is obtained.
  • the microcomputer outputs the number of pulses Pc to the motor 10, thus completing the initial setting of the continuous paper 1.
  • an electromagnet 17 is de-energized. This allows the thermal head 15 to return to its normal position and to clamp the continuous paper 1 between itself and the platen roller 14. This completes the autoloading operation.
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of a section of an exemplar of a continuous label strip, usable with the autoloading mechanism according to this invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows the overall arrangement of the autoloading mechanism.
  • FIG. 2 shows a continuous paper which holds sequentially arranged labels.
  • the individual labels 2 are coated on their rear sides with an adhesive 3 by which they are detachably attached to the backing sheet 4.
  • the distance l between successive spaces or marks 5 separating the labels 2 from each other is defined as the label pitch.
  • the continuous paper 1 is wound on a supply reel or the like and loaded into a supply section 6.
  • the continuous paper 1 is led from the supply section 6 through a continuous paper feeding means constituted of a feed roller 11 and a pressure roller 12 which resiliently bears against the feed roller 11.
  • the paper then passes through a to-be-described pitch sensor 18 and is thereafter guided through a printing means constituted by a platen roller 14 and a thermal head 15.
  • a carbon ribbon 7 is paid out of a supply reel 8. It passes over guides (unnumbered) on its way to the printing means, where the ribbon 7 comes into intimate contact with the continuous paper 1. It then continues on to a take-up reel 9.
  • the paper feeding means 11,12 and the platen roller 14 of the printing means are synchronously driven by a pulse motor 10 via a timing belt 13.
  • the thermal head 15 is pivotally supported by a pin 16 about which it can swing upward by magnetic attraction provided through energization of an electromagnet 17 positioned immediately above it. In its raised position, the thermal head 15 is separated from the platen roller 14 that normally presses against it and which forms with it a label path.
  • the pitch sensor 18 is located between the feed roller 11 of the feeding means and the platen roller 14 of the printing means. Put another way, the feeding means for the continuous paper 1 is positioned between the pitch sensor 18 and the continuous paper supply section 6. To ensure reliable guiding of the continuous paper 1, a paper guide 19 extends from immediately upstream of the feeding means 11,12 to immediately upstream of the printing means 14,15.
  • the pitch sensor 18 is positioned in the vicinity of the feeding means 11,12, at a distance L from the printing means, with L being greater than the aforesaid label pitch l.
  • the pitch sensor 18 depicted in FIG. 2 is a transmission type sensor consisting of a light emitting element and a light receiving element, the two elements facing one another across the path of the continuous paper 1.
  • the output of the pitch sensor 18 (specifically, the light receiving element) has three levels: (1) a high level produced when no label is present in the light path, (2) a medium level produced when only the backing sheet 4 is present within the light path (this occurs when the leading end of the continuous paper, which precedes the first label, or a portion of the continuous paper between labels, is disposed between the sensor elements), and (3) a low level produced when a double layer consisting of the backing sheet 4 and the label 2 is within the light path.
  • the device of the present invention is able to distinguish between these three states.
  • the operation of the autoloading mechanism is as follows.
  • the pressure roller 12 which normally presses against the feed roller 11 is raised and the leading end of the wound continuous paper 1 which is loaded in the supply section 6 is set between the two rollers.
  • the pressure roller 12 is then allowed to resume its normal position at which it clamps the leading end, i.e. the header, of the continuous paper 1 between itself and the feed roller 11.
  • an autofeed button (not shown) is pressed to start the pulse motor 10.
  • the rotation of the pulse motor 10 is transmitted via the timing belt 13 to the feed roller 11.
  • the continuous paper 1 is controllably autofed between the feed roller 11 and the pressure roller 12.
  • the electromagnet 17 is energized whereby the thermal head 15 is raised and the otherwise clamped carbon ribbon 7 between the thermal head 15 and the platen roller 14 is released. This prevents unnecessary and wasteful feeding of the carbon ribbon 7 during the loading operation.
  • the system can be controlled with a microcomputer to feed the paper by the feeding means 11,12 and by the platen roller 15 at the same speed.
  • Rotation of the feed roller 11 causes the leading end of the continuous paper 1 to be fed out and to be guided by the paper guide 19 toward the print head 14. In time, the leading edge of the first label attached to the backing sheet 4 thereof is detected by the pitch sensor 18.
  • the pitch sensor 18 produces at first the high level output as no continuous paper is detected. This output falls to the medium level when the backing sheet 4 header reaches the sensor 18, and finally falls to the low level when the leading edge of the first label reaches the sensor. Thus, the leading edge of the first label is detected when the output of the pitch sensor 18 changes from the medium to the low level.
  • the distance L from the pitch sensor 18 to the printing means 14,15, specifically the printing position at which the platen roller 14 presses onto the thermal head 15, is stored in the microcomputer in advance. Once the pitch sensor 18 detects the leading edge of the continuous paper 1, the microcomputer outputs to the pulse motor 10 just enough feed pulses to move the paper 1 by the distance L.
  • the pitch sensor 18 detects the distance l which is equivalent to the distance from the space 5 of the first label to the space 5 of the next label. This distance is the label pitch.
  • the output of the pitch sensor 18 changes from the low to the medium level and then back to the low level.
  • the leading edge of the second label can be detected from the falling signal level.
  • the microcomputer counts the number of feed pulses produced between the detection of the leading edges of the first and second labels and stores the count as the label pitch value of the continuous paper which is presently loaded in the thermal printer.
  • the number of feed pulses Pb corresponding to the detected label pitch is subtracted from the number of feed pulses Pa corresponding to the distance L between the pitch sensor 18 and the printing means 14,15.
  • the subtraction result designated as the value Pc is immediately stored in the microcomputer memory.
  • the value Pc represents the number of feed pulses pc required to further feed the continuous paper 1 so as to cause the leading edge of the first label to be exactly aligned with the printing means 14,15.
  • the microcomputer outputs the number of pulses Pc to the motor 10 and thus completes the initial setting of the continuous paper 1.
  • the electromagnet 17 is de-energized, causing the thermal head 15 to return to its normal position to clamp the continuous paper 1 between itself and the platen roller 14. This completes the autoloading operation.
  • the invention is not necessarily limited to only such arrangements in which the spaces 5 are used to detect the label pitch.
  • the surface of the tape-like backing sheet can be provided with detection marks whose reflectance differs from that of the other surfaces of backing sheet.
  • a reflection type pitch sensor is used and the label pitch is sensed as the interval between changes in output caused either by transition from a detection mark to the backing sheet or vice versa. If detection marks are not located at the leading edges of the respective labels, the distance between each detection mark and the leading edge of the associated label is taken into consideration in controlling feeding of the labels 5.
  • the distance L between the platen roller 14 and the pitch sensor 18 is greater than the label pitch l, i.e. the label length or repetition distance.
  • the invention is not necessarily limited in this manner. Even if the distance L is shorter than the distance l, autofeeding is still possible if two conditions are met. The first of these is that the label pitch data be stored in the memory of the microcomputer in advance and the second that a distance l' (not shown) between each detection mark and the leading edge of the associated label be smaller than the distance L, i.e. (l' is smaller than L).
  • the label pitch data stored in the microcomputer in advance corresponds to the number of feed pulses of the pulse motor 10 needed to advance the paper by the distance L-l'.
  • the stored data is read out upon detection of the detection mark by the pitch sensor 18 and the paper feeding operation is continued by an amount corresponding to the read-out data, whereby the leading edge of the first label of the continuous paper 1 is fed into proper alignment with the printing means.
  • the distance l is zero so that the label pitch data to be stored in advance in the microcomputer memory is the number of feed pulses corresponding to the distance L.
  • the means for feeding the continuous paper is not constituted solely by the platen roller of the printing means but also by a separate feeding means provided in the vicinity of the continuous paper supply section 6.
  • the autoloading mechanism comprises a continuous paper supply section, a paper feeding means, a pitch sensor and a printing means, disposed in the order mentioned, in the direction of paper feed.
  • the feeding operation of the paper feeding means is synchronized with that of the printing means 14,15.
  • the paper guide 19 extends at least from the feeding means 11,12, past the pitch sensor 18, and to the printing means 14,15, the continuous paper 1 can be reliably fed and guided.
